I just saw a very short interview with the women on the news. Apparently, they were swamped in a storm that washed the engine and damaged the rig. No more info than that. Although, both women looked healthy and not very distressed. They were found 900 miles off Japan. one statement I found really puzzling. She said she was sure they would have died in the next 24 hours. But they weren't emaciated at all. You'd think of they were afraid of running out of food they would be rationing and very thin. My guess is they were writing their book and maybe embellishing the situation a bit. That's a terrible thing to say isn't it?

I don’t see why that is a problem. The real question is now they got “lost”. Did they have no navigational capability? No solar or wind power? Also, they lost their cell phone overboard the first day. What use is a cell phone in the Pacific Ocean? Lots more to hear on this one. Dave
